Learn effective strategies for therapy with promiscuous patients
from this in-depth exploration of the phenomenon of promiscuity in
the lives and backgrounds of patients seeking psychotherapy. This
unique book features insights about the pitfalls of patients who
cannot bear commitment to any one person, or who jeopardize their
commitments with a need to spark their lives with promiscuity.
Psychotherapy and the Promiscuous Patient teaches psychotherapists
to respond to their patients'promiscuous behavior as a symptom of a
problem, not the problem itself. A realm of aspects of promiscuity
are explored within the psychiatric context. Promiscuity is very
broadly defined in fascinating examinations of adult promiscuity as
a result of childhood sexual abuse, hypersexuality in adult males,
addiction to the sensation of "falling in love," career
promiscuity, and even psychotherapy as an uncommon "promiscuity'--a
nonexclusive, altruistic love. Timely chapters confront the
changing distinctions between promiscuity and sex addiction and
challenge readers to uncover the various emotional needs met by
promiscuity in order to protect patients from their
self-destructive behavior. Knowledgeable practicing
psychotherapists relate methods for dealing with patients'constant
restlessness and working with a variety of patients in an intimate
setting. Psychotherapy and the Promiscuous Patient contains
invaluable strategies that can be directly applied to practice
including: the use of narrative construction and reconstruction as
treatment for sexually promiscuous clients a self-psychological
approach to treatment the importance of confusion as an
introduction to change in therapy a method of self-investigation
applied to promiscuous behavior the implications of the clinical
meaning and therapeutic use of strong-laughter outbursts in
psychology a self-psychology perspective on transference to
therapistsPsychotherapy and the Promiscuous Patient is a valuable
clinical book for psychotherapists, and it offers an across the
board appeal to a wide variety of psychiatrists and related social
scientists who are interested in today's shifting moral climate. It
is also an ideal supplemental text for an introductory methods or
applications in psychiatry course.
